Fig. 2

SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific antibody isotype and subclasses measured post-infection: a IgM, b IgA, c IgG1 and d IgG3. Antibody function measure post-SARS-CoV-2 infection: e antibody-dependent NK cell activation (ADNKA), f antibody-dependent neutrophil phagocytosis (ADNP), g antibody-dependent monocyte phagocytosis (ADMP) and h antibody-dependent complement deposition (ADCD). i Polar plot of various antibody isotype, subclass and function data, minimum-maximum normalised. The boxplots all display the median values with the first and third quartile, and the whiskers represent the highest and lowest values no more than 1.5 times the interquartile range from the corresponding hinge. A two-tailed Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare between study time points. A generalised additive mixed model (GAMM) by restricted maximum likelihood—right-hand plots—was used to fit the immunological measures (log10 transformed) taken at multiple study time points, using Gaussian process smooth term. The GAMM plots the ribbon represents the 95% confidence interval around the fitted value. Disease severity group was included in the GAMM as a linear predictor and a participant identifier was included as a random effect. See Table S1 for number of individuals evaluated per assay.
